Sweet Holiday Wishes

Happy Friday everyone!  I’m here along with some of the Bloom Brigaders from Power Poppy sharing some new card inspiration.

This week I was baking up a storm for my son’s Christmas concert at school.  Each year they ask for baking donations to sell at the two concert performances to make money for student activities.  This year I made oatmeal chocolate chip, ginger cookies and butter cookies that I used cookie cutters in the shapes of trees and gingerbread men.  I had a blast making them – too bad I didn’t take a picture of them!

So in honour of that, here’s my card this week… it’s all about the “Frosted Gingerbread” stamp set this week!

I was inspired by the Merry Monday Challenge this week, #184:

I was also inspired by Wendy's card this week; here.

Don't forget about our final Power Poppy challenge, Power & Spark, for the year.  Learn more how you can play and win here.

Sheep & Shepherd

Howdy all!  I’ve been doing a lot of no-line colouring lately and having lots of fun doing it.

Today I’m sharing a card I made using the sweet little shepherd and sheep images from the SugarPea Designs “Lost Without You” stamp set.

I was inspired by the SugarPea sketch, sketch #33, for their new challenge…

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great weekend!

Power Poppy: A Partridge in a Pear Tree

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope your week has gone well and you’ve had a chance to be creative.

I’ve been wanting to play with one of our newest digital stamp sets called “Partridge in a Pear Tree” for awhile now.  So I printed it out and had a ball colouring it up using my Copic Markers and metallic Sakura Calligrapher pens.

I wish hind site I wish I had coloured my teapot purple but c’est la vie!  Here’s a close up of my card front.  I used a stylus from the back of the image to emboss the little metallic and red balls hanging amoung the tree.

Stay tuned to the Power Poppy Blog on Monday when I host another Inspire Me Monday where I share an interactive card with you plus a few giggles!!!  Here’s a sneak peek…

Now, off you go and check out what the amazing Bloom Brigade has put together for you today…
